Jazz Listings From The New York Times

From NYTimes.com:

Dan Weiss Trio (Saturday) Recently the drummer and composer Dan Weiss has been drawn to a large-canvas scrawl, on his excellent “Fourteen” and a forthcoming follow-up album. But he hasn’t stopped working with trios like this one, with the pianist Jacob Sacks and the bassist Mark Formanek. At 9 and 10:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com. (Chinen)

Harris Eisenstadt and Canada Day (Friday and Saturday) A venturesome drummer and composer, Mr. Eisenstadt walks the line between free-form exploration and meticulous composition with Canada Day, with the trumpeter Nate Wooley, the saxophonist Matt Bauder, the vibraphonist Chris Dingman and the bassist Pascal Niggenkemper. The band plays each night at 8 p.m., followed by another group: on Friday it’s the Vinnie Sperrazza Trio (for which there’s a separate listing); on Saturday it will be the Jeff Davis Quartet. At IBeam, 168 Seventh Street, Gowanus, Brooklyn, ibeambrooklyn.com. (Chinen)

Evolving Music Series (Friday through next Friday) This off-season series from the organizers of the Vision Festival, bearing the poignant title “BlackLivesMatter,” will accommodate a range of avant-garde approaches through the month’s end. Highlights include the bassist William Parker in a duo with the pianist Cooper-Moore, Friday at 8 p.m.; the pianist Connie Crothers with the drummer Warren Smith, Saturday at 9:30 p.m.; the trumpeter Nate Wooley with his quintet, Tuesday at 9:30 p.m.; and the Tony Malaby TubaCello Quartet, Thursday at 9:30 p.m. At Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural Center, 107 Suffolk Street, Lower East Side, 212-260-4080, artsforart.org. (Chinen)

Vijay Iyer at the Stone (through Sunday) The furiously productive pianist Vijay Iyer has another fine trio album, “Break Stuff,” coming next month, but he’s exploring other avenues during his residency at the Stone. He’ll present two expanded versions of his trio on Friday, including one that adds Graham Haynes on cornet, Rafiq Bhatia on guitar and Mat Maneri on viola, among others; lead a sextet at 8 p.m. Saturday, followed at 10 p.m. by “Open Cityscapes,” featuring a range of musicians and the writer Teju Cole; and play two distinct sets on Sunday with the trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith. At the Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com. (Chinen)

Mostly Other People Do the Killing (Wednesday) Last year this puckish outfit raised some hackles with “Blue,” a concept album that involved the painstaking recreation of Miles Davis’s “Kind of Blue.” The uproar has subsided a bit, and the trumpeter Peter Evans has decamped — but there’s still plenty of fight left in the band, now a quartet with Jon Irabagon on saxophones, Ron Stabinsky on piano, Moppa Elliott on bass and Kevin Shea on drums. At 8:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com. (Chinen)

‘Northern Spy Presents’ at Sugarcube (Saturday) The Brooklyn avant-garde label Northern Spy presents two bands in a free showcase at Sugarcube, the pop-up space at South Street Seaport: first, at 7 p.m., comes Haunted House, led by the guitarist Loren Connors; then Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog performs at 8 p.m., with Mr. Ribot on guitar, Shahzad Ismaily on bass and Ches Smith on drums. At Sugarcube, Fulton and Front Streets, Lower Manhattan, sugarcube.nyc. (Chinen)

Pharoah Sanders (Thursday through Feb. 1) The tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, one of the most significant survivors of 1960s free jazz, has never stopped imbuing his performances with the tone of a spiritual quest. He’ll lead a quartet with William Henderson on piano, Nat Reeves on bass and Joe Farnsworth on drums. At 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, Frederick P. Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, 60th Street and Broadway, 212-258-9595, jazz.org. (Chinen)

Vinnie Sperrazza Trio (Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday) Vinnie Sperrazza is a drummer grounded in mainstream jazz traditions, though he moves freely within and around them. He’s celebrating the release of “Play Cy Coleman,” his second album with the pianist Jacob Sacks and the bassist Masa Kamaguchi, stocked with tunes like “The Best Is Yet to Come.” Friday at 9:30 p.m., IBeam, 168 Seventh Street, Brooklyn, ibeambrooklyn.com. Tuesday at 8:30 p.m., Korzo, 667 Fifth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, 718-499-1199, korzorestaurant.com.
